Nephew of George Mackenzie of Rosehaugh, king's advocate (1677-86). Seems to have adopted uncle's exaggerated devotion to the crown and episcopalian church. Under patronage of the Earl of Cromarty appointed to a number of positions for Ross-shire. Active in local politics, serving in the Scottish Parliament for Ross-shire (1704-7). Elected MP for Inverness Burghs (1710), classified as an episcopal Tory. Involved in drafting a number of bills. By 1712 had become disillusioned with parliamentary affairs. Due to illness, possible that Mackenzie did not even attend the 1713 session. Did not stand for re-election. Died 1760.
